A sheep in wolf's clothing

Day: November 27, 2008

Jeff Beck is 61 years old now but he is still going strong. One of the most talented guitar players of all time is also one of the most underratted in the history of rock. He also excels at the Blues. Here he is with the Jools Holland backing band, playing Drown In My Own Tears

I had a little tough time getting to sleep last night. My asthma inhaler ran out (stoopid, stoopid! Did not check the level) and on a day that I was having a lot of coughing & wheezing, I should have the damn thing ready to use and with me all the time. I didn’t and it was at around 9 pm when I realized it. I was feeling a bit wheezy then but I thought that I’ll try not to cough or sneeze, which only makes my asthma worse, and I should be fine until morning. I didn’t think I would be able to ask someone to go buy me meds at 9 in the night.

So I watched Friendsescape to witch mountain dvdgenova download all the way from the vey beginning (do you know a better way to get rid of your physical or mental illness?) and watched around 7 episodes of Season 1. This is so relaxing but I have to be careful and not laugh too much or it will start getting me coughing again. I went to sleep at around 12:45 am and woke up with a little breathing problem. I waited, patiently drinking coffee and relaxed for an hour and 40 minutes and then took a bath & a shave. On my way to the office, I stopped at a medical store, replaced my inhaler and then I could breathe easily.

It was so much better and despite the head cold and a cough, I felt so much better by noon! I was so relieved since there is a lot of work to be done, I didn’t want it to slow me down. I had lunch with the gang and went back to work feeling so much more better than yesterday. I guess I am on the road to recovery. And not a moment too soon!

I’m sure that most of you would have heard about the two days of terrorist attacks that have happened in many areas of Mumbai city, India’s commercial & largest city. The attacks started yesterday and have continued on today with atleast 125 deaths reported, including 81 Indian civilians, 14 policemen and six foreigners, including one Japanese, one Australian, one Briton, one Canadian, one Italian, and one German. Another 327 people have been reported to be injured.

The militant Islamic group claims to call themselves as the Deccan Mujahideen which is just a front for the Lashkar-e-Taiba, a Pakistani group which has been involved in almost all terrorist attacks in India. Other than luxury hotels like the Taj & Oberoi, the bastard terrorists have also attacked a hospital & a cafe in Mumbai.

orgies and the meaning of life online download Why don’t you motherfucking Pakistani & Islamic fundamentalist bastards just go fuck off? Find a stupid island all for youself and practise your kind of Islam and leave the rest of us alone. Kill each other, fuck each, blow your brains & dicks off for all we care. You have no right to be called as humans. I hope the Indian army captures you and kills you like the savage animals that you are! Jai Hind!

Last night, as I was clicking on links that the blogs that I read have, I arrived at one of a devout catholic. One of this person’s entries was about how American Humanist Association in Washington DC were going to run ads on buses that read “Why believe in a god? Just be good for goodness’ sake”. While I am in firm agreement with the AMA, this person is not! Obviously, since he has a problem with all ‘silly atheists’ as he puts it.

His argument is that how do we derive at ‘good’ without something to base it upon, a standard or a code of conduct. And he choses the Bible or any religious book for that matter & god as the guide for the good. He also says that if there isn’t a god then why put constraints on people to do good and telling people to ‘do good’ is at best pedantic. Mr.Catholic also doesn’t allow people to comment against his blog posts.

I have to ask : Mr. Catholic, will you only do good because god says so? Or are you only doing good so that your god won’t punish you or will be pleased with you and grant you entry into heaven? Do you really need a religious book to tell you what is wrong and what is right? It might help some people like you but the truth is most good people, who happen to believe in a god, would be good even if they didn’t believe in a god.

Do you really need a god to tell you that you should not steal? Or that you should not beat a harmless being? That you should not molest an innocent child? Do you really need to read it in the Bible to help a stranger in trouble, someone drowning or in an accident? Do you only help others just because you think Jesus or Yahweh or the fairy godmother wants you to?

If you do, then the rest of the world is in big trouble!!

And he also thinks that it is not fair to run the add in the 3rd week of November, because December belongs to Jesus and his followers and running it so close to December is harsh. And he challenges the AMA to run the add during the month of Ramadan (which he claims they won’t do since they might get sued).

That notion is a ball of rubbish! The Islamic fundamentalists would sue no matter which time of the year it is. The timings doesn’t so much matter to them – they would find a reason to protest & sue at any time of the year!
